RECRUITMENT EXPERTS

I would recommend that any company in the City use Sanctuary Graduates for assistance with their graduate recruitment.

Emma Jarosz, HR Advisor, Stemcor Holdings Ltd

I’m delighted to take the opportunity to recommend the quality of graduates they offered, which were carefully thought through and of a high calibre. I would not hesitate to recommend Sanctuary Graduates in the future

Miriam Knipe, Team Leader – HR, Tibra Global Services

We will continue to work with them in the future to ensure we secure the best emerging talent in our fields of expertise.

Karen Pearce, HR Assistant, L-3 TRL Technology

Sanctuary Graduates provided us with a fresh way to market our IT internship positions to current students and graduates using their student headhunter scheme

Becky Laybourne, BlueBay Asset Management LLP

We asked Sanctuary Graduates to supplement our year-round graduate recruitment and they have consistently supplied us with high calibre candidates

Shelley Ferrigno, Recruitment Manager, Softcat Ltd

After giving them a very clear brief of what we were looking, they delivered a very strong field of economics candidates both at Masters level and undergraduate level

Deepy Kang | HR Resourcing Manager, Monitor

They always provide quality graduates. Nothing is too much trouble and the service is great. I would recommend Sanctuary Graduates.

Susan Burgess, Assistant Manager, HR & Training, Scott Moncrieff

I have only positive things to say about the service they provide. They have worked on several assignments for us and have delivered every time

Richard Barry, HR Manager, Baillie Gifford

Not only were we able to recruit excellent Tech graduates through using Sanctuary, we actually hired more than originally planned due to the calibre of who they put forward.

HIRE

We start with a really detailed client briefing session. We really try to get under the skin of your company and scheme in order to fully understand your values, ethos and work environment as well as the motivations, specific characteristics and competencies the ideal candidates you seek. A thorough briefing leads to outstanding results.

The headhunters talk to their friends, course mates and society colleagues, recommending the role, the company and the career path in detail and explain to them why they think they are well suited to it.

Our screening team here at HQ then receives hundreds, sometimes thousands of applications from campus which they can then either pass directly into your internal system or we can screen them for you. This might take the form of a CV screen & telephone interview or it might include the entire screening process up to assessment centres. It’s up to you.

We submit our shortlisted candidates to you by an agreed deadline, usually within 1-3 weeks of the campaign starting depending on the scale of the search and screening.

We can deliver any candidate feedback and can handle the communication of your final decisions.
